I'm pulling wings off insects
E B A
I'm peeling back my sunburnt skin
E B A
I'll wait outside your bedroom
E B A
I hope they let me in
E B A
I'm filling your prescriptions
E B A
The orange bottles stare me down
E B A
They're standing at attention
E B A
An army on your windowsill
A B
We're all waiting for good news
E A
Hoping you can come home soon
C#m A
We're all waiting for good news
E A
I've been acting like I'm strong
C#m B
But the truth is, I've been losing ground
C#m A
To a hospital too crowded,
E B
A summer winding down
C#m A B
I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
C#m A E
I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now
E B A
I grew up on your back porch
E B A
And I watched the storms light up the clouds
E B A
They hung like paper lanterns
E B A
To guide the way back toward your house
A B
I've been putting off long flights
E A
Hoping that you'll be all right
C#m A
And I'll be there in the meantime

I've been acting like I'm strong
C#m B
But the truth is, I've been losing ground

To a hospital too crowded,
E B
A summer winding down
C#m A B
I hadn't seen a heartbreak until now
C#m A E
I hadn't felt a heartbreak until now

If I'm in an airport
E
And you're in a hospital bed
B E
Well, then, what kind of man does that make me?
